Hi Pogo! Not still in the Okefenokee, are you?

Well, I do celebrate the equinoxes and the solstices as well as "cross-quarter" days (days that fall between each solstice and equinox - which is a Celtic tradition). I also follow the lunar cycles - doing rituals on both full and dark moon nights. But that's just the ritual/ceremonial part of my life.

I do believe (and practice) organic gardening, but I'm not a vegetarian. You'll find that a lot of Pagans aren't vegetarians because living a more natural life (so to speak) doesn't mean one has to limit oneself to plant life. I eat very little meat - maybe less than 10 oz, a week but I also eat eggs and dairy (organic).

But basically, I'm aware of the changes of the seasons and the interaction of plants and animals, pay attention to astronomical movement (partly for astrological reasons, though I'm not really into Astrology - but mostly because the movements of the planets, etc, are interesting. I'm also very interested in rocks and minerals (for magical purposes, but also because they're so interesting.

The rituals I practice are primarily tied to nature and the change of seasons. This is quite unlike much of Christian, Jewish and Muslim observances. Most Pagans do not have holy days / holidays to commemorate an important person or event. True each of our major celebrations (Sabbats) have a connection with both goddesses and gods, but those deities are inherently tied to that time of the year, hence, calling on their energy during ritual. Some of the Sabbats have names tied to the gods - such as Lughnasadh (the god Lugh) and Breedmas or Bridget's Day, named for the Celtic Irish goddess Bridget (which the Catholic Church "elevated" to sainthood).

But hey - the days of the week in English are either Roman or Norse gods:

Sunday: the Sun's Day (most often felt to be represented by a god.)
Monday: the Moon's Day (most often felt to be represented by a goddess.)
Tuesday: Tyr's Day (Norse god)
Wednesday: Woden or Wotan's Day (Norse)
Thursday : Thor's Day (Norse)
Friday: Frigg's Day (Norse)
Saturday: Saturn's Day (Roman - but a deity embraces in Northern Europe during and after Roman expansion into Gaul and Britain.)

Hope that helps.
